This document summarizes the changes in the settlements of Beijing, China, Seoul, South Korea, and Sydney, Australia over the years 1900, 1950, and 2000. It describes how each city transitioned from a dispersed rural pattern in 1900 with few houses, people, and empty spaces to a more nucleated urban form by 2000 with many tall buildings, apartments, roads, and activities. The increasing population and development of infrastructure like roads, electricity, and transportation changed each city significantly over the past century.

54. W h a t I l e a r n t I learnt a lot of things during making this power point. I am living in Beijing but I didn’t really know about settlement of this city. I could realized that it changed a lot. Also, nowadays, Beijing became a modern and great city but Chinese government said Beijing is still developing and they want to make this city to be the best city. I am from Seoul, South Korea, so I chose this city. Researching about Seoul was pretty fun and easy to me because I already knew about Seoul’s settlement. However, I was surprised when I found the picture of 1900’s. Also, I learnt so many things about Seoul. I chose Sydney because I wanted to know about Sydney which is the capital city of Australia. Also, in 2000 the Olympics was held in Sydney so it was easy to find out the differences between over 50 years. I learnt the pattern of this settlement changed a lot. Beijing China Seoul South Korea Sydney Australia
55. Conclusion “ No Settlement remains the same forever. Settlements CHANGE over time”
